mortified. maintenance men walked in on me pumping

I pump in what I was told and thought was an unused office in the adjacent bldg. I was sitting there, minding my own business, pumping away when I heard a key in the door. Despite my shrill screams of, "Dont come in, don't come in," they came in. I didn't have time to do anything except pull the pump/bag in front of me to try to block the view. It took a full 5 seconds (that doesn't seem like much, but bare your breasts & count to five and it seems a whole lot longer!) for them to figure out what was going on and stammer and shuffle out. I am mortified. At least it wasn't coworkers or, heaven forbid, my boss, but still...

  • That sucks. I guess you need a sign on the door.

  • Oh no, that would definitely be embarrasing.  Faon is right, maybe you can ask if you can put a sign on the door saying private, or office in use or something like that.
  • That's terrible- I'm so sorry.

  • What kind of jerk comes in when you're yelling "Don't come in!!"? I'm sorry. :(

    I'd put a sign up, too. (but don't be surprised if people still come in or try to.  I put a sign up and lock the door and people still try to come in my office when I pump...morons)

  • *boooooo*  Aw man.  That suuucks!   And I agree...what rat-bas-tard would come in even after someone is screaming and then stand there and look at you?!?  You know what is going on!  Dumb-arse.

    Yeah, I was trying to slip in & out under the radar & not draw much attention to it, but I just printed out a huge Office In Use, Do Not Enter sign. Hopefully, they were embarrassed too & will avoid the office for a while. 
  • Indifferent WHOA, sorry that happened!
  • Oh man. I'm always worried that is going to happen to me!!!

  • I'm so, so sorry!

    I understand not wanting to put up a sign and draw attention to yourself...

  • Ugh.  At least it was random maintenance men.  And - they probably didn't get a good look at your face - so I doubt they'd recognize you if you passed them in the hall. 

    Hope the sign works!

    Ha! Believe me, they weren't looking at my face! Embarrassed
